Are you sure you’re using a bash console?
The complaint line is this one:

github.com

zammad/zammad/blob/develop/contrib/backup/functions#L6


      
          #!/usr/bin/env bash
          #
          # Zammad backup script functions
          #
          
          
function demand_backup_conf () {
            if [ -f "${BACKUP_SCRIPT_PATH}/config" ]; then
              # Ensure we're inside of our Backup-Script folder (see issue 2508)
              # shellcheck disable=SC2164
              cd "${BACKUP_SCRIPT_PATH}"
          
          
    # import config
              . ${BACKUP_SCRIPT_PATH}/config
            else
              echo -e "\n The 'config' file is missing!"
              echo -e " Please copy ${BACKUP_SCRIPT_PATH}/config.dist to  ${BACKUP_SCRIPT_PATH}/config before running $0!\n"

It’s the correct syntax and works just as expected.

I’m newer to Linux and realized I didn’t execute the script properly.

I was able to run the script and get a successful backup!

Thank yoU!
